Brie Bella, Nikki Bella and Erick Rowan w/ Renee Young
Brie started to talk about how self-centered her sister is, when, right on cue, Nikki walked in and ended the interview.
Renee went to send it back to ringside, when she noticed Rowan standing next to her. Rowan played with Renee’s hair for a second, before removing the mask to say the word “pretty.” Renee gave a nervous “thank you,” before she walked away.
The Bellas have been impressing me in their segments since Hell in a Cell, and WWE has done a good job of helping them by keeping their segments short.
Rowan’s semi-new gimmick is excellent, and backstage segments with Renee might be the perfect place for him to develop.
Nikki Bella vs. Emma
Nikki seemed to have a power advantage over Emma, and she used it early on.
However, Emma was able to counter Nikki’s offense, and she started to use some of her own. Emma hit some of her signature moves, until she went for the Emma-mite Sandwich, which Nikki countered with a dropkick to Emma’s stomach.
Nikki hit the Rack Attack for the win.
Nikki Bella defeats Emma via pinfall.
After the match, Nikki gave Brie Bella an order, and Brie reluctantly walked up to AJ Lee at the commentary table, and slapped her. AJ responded by shoving Brie to the ground, then went after Nikki, but Nikki escaped up the ramp.
2.5 out of 5 stars – This was a pretty good match. There are plenty of talented Divas, it’s too bad that only four of them are taken seriously.
